JOHANNESBURG - The ANC on Wednesday called on South Africans to assist the rescue efforts in the various flood-affected areas in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape."We urge ANC comrades to contact their local municipal authorities so they can form part of the disaster management teams in their areas. They should also team up with local non-governmental organisations who are assisting flood victims," acting national spokesperson, Dakota Legoete said.
The weather services has warned that there may be more rain to come, with Cyclone Kenneth expected to hit Tanzania and Mozambique. "We are heartened that President Ramaphosa has cut short his attendance of the emergency African Union Troika Summit in Egypt so that he can lend his considerable stature and support for the rescue and disaster management efforts being undertaken," said Legoete.
